Magellan Car Kit for iPhone or iPod Touch ($120 - $130)

Magellan car kit for iPhone or iPod TouchMagellan

Apple iPhone navigation apps work well, but they should be used while the iPhone is placed in a windshield mount. A mount holds the iPhone where it can be seen, keeps the iPhone charged up (GPS apps are battery hogs), and supplements the iPhone's speaker. This mount by Magellan does all of the above, plus it has its own GPS chip to boost the iPhone's reception. Since it has its own GPS, this mount also lets the Apple iPod Touch work as a turn-by-turn navigation device.
